Next time, ask for a hit before the 2nd inning, will ya!
Correa
Grounds out 1-6 on a weak swing at junk off the plate. They rule Franco lost the ball on the exchange, no challenge by the Astros.
That wasn’t even fucking close to losing it on the exchange. Fucking awful, and I’m sure not reviewable.
Huh.
Thoughts on that transfer call?
I’m pretty sure it’s not reviewable.
Tucker
Flies out to center
Tucker and Alvarez: How about you crush those breaking pitches in your happy zone next time?
Correa, too. Those all should have been punished.
It’s not. And they loosened the rules on that a few years ago on the transfer. It’s almost possible for it not to be a catch now.
Top 6
Margot
Walks
Rasmussen has never gone more than 5 innings.
I’m sure there’s polling on that.
Kiermaier
Strikes out
Phillips
Grounds into a 4-6-3 DP
He was a reliever in Milwaukee before being acquired in the Adames trade by the Rays. He’s not going to see a third time through the order any time soon.
Makes sense.
Bottom 6 (Patino now pitching)
Siri
Strikes out swinging
Castro
Singles to center
Altuve
Flies out to RF
Brantley
Grounds out to Wendle
